A good representation of Good & Bad I shown in this music video as well as Love & Hate as violence between a family is shown, straining the relationship between the mother and father of their love hate relationship and it effects the whole family, showing clips of them enjoying their love life to then switching to the father using violence against the mother.

This representation shows a good example of a narrative of a man who is going through a break up with a woman as he follows the lyrics in his song of ‘the man who can’t be moved’ as he is sitting on the pavement, singing about his love. The theory of Andrew Goodwin however follows every song in the music industry as every video has a narrative behind it and the steps to his theory all follow.
